when I play music that has a strong beat my volume controllers vibrate enough to sound like they are keeping time to the beat. ANy thoughts on how to solve this issue?

I have purchased a brand new AMP I need to use it on an S1 network so I have downgaded it following the official Sonos description, after a short while it stops playing music and starts to flash white and orange. The problem is worst if I use an online music source but it also happens with line in.I have tried to return to S2 where the problem does not happen, then I returned to S1 and the problem happend again.I have tried to connect to my router and switch off wi-fi, but it did not make a difference.I use the Android app here is what is in Sonos-appinfo:Version 11.15Sonos OS S1Build 572259130Here is what is in Sonos-systeminfo for the AMPHardware 1.24.1.19-2.2.Serie-ID: A110Is there any configuration changes I can do to prevent this problem ?(Upgrade to S2 is not an option at the moment I have still too many devices only supporting S1)

My amp only has a white light that keeps flashing when I try to reset it and I can't and it won't let me connect it to the network. I've already tried to reset it by connecting it to the network via cable and the white light keeps flashing slowly.  

Does anyone know how to connect Klipsch the Sevens, to the Sonos Port?  

I have been messing around with various configurations for connections with my Sonos amp and would the outcomes experiences and see what other users have done.My Current Setup:Sonos amp Project Debut EVO 2 Schitt Mani 2 phono Pre Amp  Tangent CDII RCA switch box to feed both the Evo & Tangent in via the RCA line in on the AMP. B&W 606 Speakers (These occasionally are set as surrounds for an ARC which is my main TV sound output, but are predominantly for music use only)This has been my setup for the last few years and i was very happy. However, I recently upgraded to the Project EVO with the Schitt Mani 2 from a Project T1 phono with built in pre amp. When i did this  I found I had to adjust the line level down to 8 get the best sound from the turntable, but would need to increase it back to level 10 for the CDII. Much as I love streaming I still enjoy active listening on physical formats so want to get the best setup for all my listening needs. So i did a little experiment usin

My Sonos Amp has a buzzing/humming sound coming from inside the unit. It is very audible even when no music is playing and speakers are disconnected. My local shop and the Sonos support have been unable to resolve the issue.Because it is out of warranty, Sonos will only offer a 30% discount on a new one. I am very hesitant to buy another when this issue could happen again (it seems to be a known issue when searching communities).Very disappointing response from Sonos. This is a high end piece of kit and should be backed up by Sonos. Anyone had this issue or had a better resolution?

I currently have in wall speakers, no wireless.  How many amps and ports do I need to drive all 8 sets of speakers?  I want to put 2 rooms/sets of speakers together X 4 (LR & Kitchen, Outdoor kitchen & patio, Master BR & Bath, Study & Upstairs patio.)  I understand I can parallel the sets on one amp so I need 4 amps.  How many ports do I need?  I also have CD player, turntable and I wish to either hardwire or bluetooth an Ipod touch.Also can I use Audiosource AMP 100 instead of SONOS amp?  AMP 100 has A & B selectors.

After recent updates, my sub 4 and sub mini no longer put out the bass as they did when I first purchased the subs a couple of months ago. I used to keep the subs at a setting of 8, now a setting of 15 doesn’t even hit lows like 8 used to.Nothing has changed in my setup - all speakers are in the same spots. I have retuned, adjusted EQs, and even reset the sub 4 to factor settings. Unfortunately, it’s as if the updates took power away from my subs. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any suggestions?

Skipping while playing from Music Library has persisted for years & often angered me. For me the fix was finally simple: ethernet cable from desktop (hosting library) to Sonos device.HDD, SSD or USB attached to router with cable to Sonos would work as well.Hosting your library on a wirelessly connected device (e.g. laptop) is likely to be unstable.

I’ve got an Rotel A12 integrated amp, with CD Player and Vintage TT attached. The amp drives a pair of Wharfedale speakers in living room. Only streaming I do is Apple Music via a dedicated iphone that I connect direct to the A12 via USB or Bluetooth.Looking to connect from my amp’s pre+out to the Port that would wirelessly drive an Era speaker in another room (or on my deck), however I’d only feed audio to ONE room at a time, ie, if feeding to the Era, I’d have my Wharfedale speakers off on my A12.This would work…right?  Also…. I’m thinking of setting up a 2nd router, disconnected from internet ISP, so a local, closed WiFi network to handle WiFi network to stream audio from Port to Era…. Is this doable?

Mise a jour sonos amp impossible. A priori trop vieux

One of my two bridges started flashing rapidly (white) and it was no longer visible on the app.I have tried everything (I think) including plugging direct into router and factory reset but nothing has produced the response that I am supposed to get.Although, sometimes I can get the light to stay solid even though still not “visible”Does this mean that the bridge itself kaput ? 

Good Evening,  Can anyone please recommend the positioning for two stereo pairs (running on one amp) of 6 inch ceiling speakers in the room below. It is essentially a big L shape with a lounge and TV on the bottom right hand side of the drawing attached. Should I try my best to get one pair either side of the sofa? Then perhaps the other pair along the right hand side of the room, in a line? Or any better suggestions appreciated.Maybe I bite the bullet and have a separate amp for the living area which can be more ‘TV focused’ with a sound bar / sub etc. But, perhaps this is overkill.Ignore the utility / WC space, this won't have any speakers.  Thanks Chris. 

Hi,I have a turn table and CD player connected to my Marantz amplifier. This is then connected to the Sonos port from Recorded Out. I am playing music fine on my Play 5s, but I want to control the volume through the Amp rather than the Sonos app. I have tried changing line in in the port to Fixed, but nothing is working. Anyone got any advice please. Many thanks. 

I’ve been a sonos customer for years and been effected by the kamikaze effect of the software upgrades, and all though well intended, the platform has been destroyed. If anyone buys a sonos product they are nuts. It’s gone from the best to the worst in the market and i have a house full of this s*** now. It can’t even play music without the volume cutting out the user experience is atrocious. Please sort this s*** out, it’s your only job! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct

Looking for advice. Thanks in advance!Recently moved homes from a house that we had SONOS arc, sub, and 2 Era100 speakers for surround sound system. The new house has 7 speakercraft in ceiling speakers (2 fronts, 1 center, 2 rears, and 2 in the master bedroom) I want to use my Sonos system (Arc & Sub) for the surround sound with the 2 rear in ceiling speakers connected through a Sonos AMP. This is already hooked up now and works well. But I want to be able to use the other in ceiling speakers (2 fronts, 1 center as well as the bedroom speakers) for music or TV while entertaining guests. My question is can I use a speaker selector and connect it to the Sonos Amp to my receiver and other speakers? Do I need a Sonos Port? Do I need another Sonos Amp? I am thinking the easiest way is to run the rear speakers from the Amp into the speaker selector then have all other speakers connected into that and connected to my receiver. That way I can use the rears for surround sound system and use

Sonos CONNECT: Cet équipement ( acheté il y a plus de 10 ans) est détecté par l’application, mais il n’est pas ou plus  possible de l’enregistrer. Moderator Edit - Translation by Google:Sonos CONNECT: This equipment (purchased more than 10 years ago) is detected by the application, but it is no longer possible to register it.

Before I break something, I want to know if this will work as intended.  I have two zones, one Port for each.I have an older but great sounding 5x 200w Outlaw amp I want to use.  2 channels for zone 1, and 2 channels for zone 2.  The 5th channel won’t be used.The Outlaw amp, like pretty much all home theater amps only has one 12v trigger input.Can I combine the two Sonos Ports with a Y cable to power the Outlaw amp?  That means that if I use both zones at the same time, the amp will be getting two 12v inputs at the same time. thanks,~Jay

Short version: I have an Amp that was working fine yesterday. While moving things around, the power and HDMI input became disconnected. Everything is plugged back in and now the power LED won’t go on, the buttons on the front panel are unresponsive, and it no longer responds to the IR signal from my Apple TV remote. It will play sound, but only after I go into the mobile app and went through “Setup TV.” The power LED, IR remote, and touch controls are enabled in the app control panel.Setup: I have multiple devices connected to an HDMI selector switch (Apple TV, DVD/BD player, and Switch cradle). On the HDMI switch, there is a TOSLink audio out. I have an adapter (from Sonos) connected to that and the other end connects to an HDMI cable that goes into the Amp. The output is normal stereo speakers. It’s connected to my LAN through CAT5, so I can connect to it through wifi, even though I have wifi turned off on it (to make it use the CAT5 physical cable). I’ve been using the IR signal fro

Volume keeps.going to 15 every time I raise the Volume it drops back to 15

I have a Sonos boost that I factory reset and am trying to set up as the hub for my system to replace a speaker that’s currently the SonosNet node (all devices are boost compatible). The boost is showing a flashing green light however it is not showing up in my s2 app when I go to add a new product. I’ve tried a couple of resets but it doesn’t seem to work. Not sure what else I can do. The phone and the boost are right next to each other. Could you help me troubleshoot this? 

I’ve installed a Pro-Ject turntable and a port. Connected the port to the WIFI. Now I get no sound using the turntable and nothing from the speakers for TV, streaming services, etc.  When I go to TV, for example, and select all the speakers in my ecosystem, the app indicates it cant connect.   I’ve got no use of my Sonos now for anything. 

Took it all to the dump today— three speakers, bridge, amp… used to work fine then after one year of app updates and failure to connect I pulled the plug. A systemAbsolutely so primitive.  Spent way too much money on Sonos, but can’t take it snymore! Bye Bye ! YS Sonos! 

How do i change my connect:AMP what is the main device in the house to the Sonos Port?And another question! Could set up my “Sonos Port” as the main device and use the “Sonos Connect” on the Sonos 2 system?

Looking for advice , Have many Sonos Products and love them , Wanting to purchase two Amps and run one for each passive speaker , Will the Amp run a Bi Amp mode ?
